The Role

GrizzlyTrek is seeking an experienced Contract Bookkeeper to support our internal finance function on a fully remote basis.

You will run the day-to-day accounting cycle, lead month-end close, maintain accurate banking and general ledger records, build short-horizon receivables and payables forecasts, and coordinate directly with our external accountant on year-end and tax matters. This role is ideal for a detail-driven professional who wants steady, meaningful work with a growing Indigenous-owned staffing company, with the flexibility of a contract arrangement.

• Maintain and refine the chart of accounts to ensure accurate, consistent coding across departments, projects, and reporting segments
• Process and reconcile all banking transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, transfers, credit card activity, and electronic payments
• Perform monthly bank and credit card reconciliations, ensuring all activity is captured, coded, and tied out to source documents
• Prepare and post month-end journal entries, including accruals, prepaid expenses, deferred revenue, depreciation, and other recurring close adjustments
• Lead the month-end close process, including balance sheet account reconciliations, GL review, and preparation of internal financial statements
• Build and maintain rolling AR and AP forecasts to support cash flow planning, working capital decisions, and short-term liquidity visibility
• Provide fractional controller support, including internal reporting, variance analysis, cash flow oversight, internal controls, and process documentation
• Coordinate with our external accountant on year-end working papers, tax filings, GST/HST remittances, and any audit or review engagements
• Identify opportunities to streamline accounting workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and strengthen the financial operations of a growing business
